Chronic kidney disease can be asymptomatic in the early stage, and most people are unaware of their illness. Early prevention and treatment have the best effect, as irreversible decline in kidney function will bring huge economic burden to individuals, families, and society, and the treatment effect is far from being as effective as early control.
So, who are the high-risk groups and the key screening targets?
1 diabetes
The reason why diabetes is listed in the first article is that more and more people have developed from diabetes to kidney disease, and the proportion has exceeded that of primary kidney disease in order to catch up with the speed of the British Premier League and the United States.
If you have diabetes and have a history of more than 5 years, you should consciously check the microalbumin every half a year or every year, so as to find early signs of kidney disease.
2 Hypertension
Modern people like to have a strong taste and eat salty food, which is a great burden on their blood vessels. It seems that it has become an "abnormal" phenomenon for family members and friends to have no hypertension patients.
High blood pressure is also an important risk factor for the occurrence and progression of kidney disease. Generally, our blood pressure is below 130/80mmHg, and 140/90 is the normal high risk line. If we break through further, we can be diagnosed as hypertension. Many people do not know their blood pressure before it is measured, and once measured, their blood pressure is terrifyingly high.
For patients with hypertension, it is necessary to have awareness of routine urine examination.
3 high uric acid
Don't underestimate high uric acid levels. With the improvement of living standards, people with high uric acid levels are very common! But its harm is not small, causing gout pain to be very deadly. It can also lead to chronic kidney damage or even kidney failure. According to the European Association for Dialysis and Transplantation, uric acid nephropathy accounts for 0.6-1% of uremic dialysis.
You have to keep your mouth shut and keep your legs open! Don't forget to take a urine test and kidney function when rechecking uric acid.
Metabolic disorders centered around obesity
Obesity not only refers to overall body size obesity, but also includes people with only a fat belly. Obesity itself can cause obesity related kidney disease, as well as a series of metabolic disorders such as high blood pressure, high blood lipids, and high blood sugar, indirectly leading to kidney problems.
Maintaining a healthy weight and body shape helps the body return to normal metabolic levels and reduces the burden on the kidneys.
5 Other than the above
In addition to the above, teenagers with recurrent tonsillitis, upper respiratory tract infection, family history of kidney disease, and people over 60 years old are all more high-risk groups than ordinary people.
When these high-risk situations are listed, the kidneys must not be ignored! The screening of kidney disease is not complicated. A simple urine routine can reflect many problems. If you don't want to go to the hospital, you can buy a urine test paper and do the screening yourself at home to see if there are any abnormal items such as "occult blood" and "protein".
